THE SPOT: Brooklyn Industries; 286 Lafayette St, Soho, NY; 800-318-6061
THE INFO: Is Brooklyn Industries really indie?A Some might argue no because of the amount of stores they have and their reach nationally.A I argue yeah, cause they are frickin cool and have set a perfect model for how awesome a??the thorough borougha?? can be.A If you dona??t think they belong here your hating.A The companies still run by the original owners and they are pretty indie to me.
